Smasher allows users to view all fonts in a suitcase--including legacy Mac OS 9 suitcases that may contain numerous fonts from a multitude of families and foundries--and it then "smashes" the suitcases into their smallest components. To do this, a user drags the suitcase into Smasher and clicks the "smash" button, which then creates more manageable suitcases.

Other features: Users can see file location, type, and dates, as well as owner and user permissions; clean up fonts quickly by checking font integrity, separating TrueType from Type 1 fonts, and keeping bitmap and printer fonts together; preview styles in their native typeface and compare the contents of different suitcases; set OS 9 fonts free by smashing old suitcases or converting OS X dfonts into TrueType for use in OS 9; smash Mac OS X font catches; and make Quark, Adobe, and Microsoft applications work right, find missing fonts, and make problem fonts behave.
